My turbo beta LC1

[RTPScoupe]

My car is done now. It has a rough tune and runs decent but needs to be tuned more. No cel's right now. Here it is.





I wanted to keep the sleeper style of the car. The IC isn't very noticable. And the exhaust tip is a plain strait cut 2.5". No fart cans here.




Trunk is all go, no show.

Installing the emanage ultimate was a PITA, literally!


I also just picked up these rays te37 15" wheels. They are used, they weigh in at a mere 9lbs each. Also just go this greddy turbo timer today.

nice ride, you got a video to here the sound

[TAK82]

did you get those mag's from accent-03?


seeing a beta accent is a good thing but a turbo beta accent is way better,
not much people had the will or the guts and cash to do such a thing.
now let's see that LC smoke some b16 civics.

also love that custom heat shield you make on the driver side.

Sorry I can't get a video, I dont know anyone with a digital video camera.

As for 1/4 mile and dyno, I'll probably get a dyno soon. But my windsheild has a large crack and Id prolly have to replace it before theyd let me on the track. Problem is Im running low on funds,... imagine that, lol. So a 1/4 mile time might have to wait till next year.

No, I got the wheels from a local. There was times during the build, when I asked myself WTF was I thinking, or how the hell is this going to work out. But you just gotta keep going on it . The shield on the drivers side covers up the battery relocation wires. If you look closely theres actually an aluminum motor mount cover on the passenger side also. To cover up my funky motor mount. Can't wait to get out and smoke some cars!!

the biggest obstacle to turboing a car is the ecu, sometime's it won't cooperate and cause problems..hence out of frustration we toss it into the trash can.

SFR is the only company that has a actual programmed ecu specially designed for their turbo kits..

[maccent98]

so to do turbo on a 2.0l swap you have to remove one fan? i have an x3 thinking about beta swap turbo and i have been following your posts in the accent topic area

[TAK82]

obviously, the fan on the passenger side would get melted by the hot turbo manifold..

one way to get a fan on the passenger side radiator would be to install a slim lite fan and mount it on the flip side of the radiator

it's a coincidence that the x3 and the lc are very similiar in dimensions, spec and design,

BTW..also love that ingenious strut to firewall brace..

you could probably install a engine damper from one of those brace's and tie the end of the damper to the engine mount or power steering bracket..just a tip..
